I finally received it this morning at around 8. I was fairly groggy at that point, so kinda just received it and left the box in the kitchen.
Was busy throughout until later in the night, but once I got started taking pictures it was prett...

So I was taking a look at the figures being planned to be out, and noticed a rather nice one.
Obviously a ton of nudity on this one. I'm still living with my parents, so I try not to get figures that are outright nude/vulgar/etc. Doesn't mean...

I’ve been a member here on My Anime Shelf for a few weeks now and I still haven’t introduced myself. I go by MU597 online I am a designer and a musical artist. You can view some of my work at.

Have you already seen new Comiket photos?
If not, Hobby Stock has plenty. Follow the link.
And here are the most peculiar things in my opinion:
Though I think this gold stick is annoying.
Can't make my mind whether I like her or not.

Long time, no post. Sorry for my absence, but this holiday season was gratuitously more hectic than what I'm accustomed to. Things have calmed down a bit thankfully. But I am now the proud owner of 15 figures, so it's time to start honoring them!

Ganta helped me to make photos of Teni under Christmas Tree... and I decided he deserves a small photo-session himself.
It supposed to be happy Christmas pics, but it seems Gunta just can't look friendly. Spooky?

Minna-san,...
Merry Christmas!!! :D
Hope, you are all genki, happy and enjoying your Christmas holidays, which is probably the loveliest time of the year.
As for presents, I've prepared some Christmas fan-art (thanks to all talented Pixiv art...

This little monstrosity.
I'm guessing I'll end up regretting squandering my cash reserves like that, but what the hell, life is meant to be s...

I received a package from AmiAmi yesterday, and decided to do a quick photoshoot of these gems contained inside.
Marisa's surprisingly everything I expected from a quality Touhou figure and more. So glad I shelled out cash for this. It took...

Just got new Bayonetta PS3 game.
Since I coped with those important Japanese tests I allowed myself to relax a bit.
Bayonetta​ (ベヨネッタ Beyonetta?) is an action game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, directed by Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe s...

Sebastian came in way earlier this month but I just recently got batteries for my camera. So I just came to leave this picture and say that I'm so pleased with him. x3
Keiji belongs to my roommate. D: I just wanted a picture of them two togeth...

I'm exhausted *_*
Spent nearly all weekend preparing for my winter exams. I don't worry about history (any mark will do), but Japanese... I want my marks to be as good as possible. And our exam is really going to be monstrous. It lasts 4 (!) days...

Hello! My name is Aaron (pluvia33) and this is my first blog post on My Anime Shelf. After being here for a little over a week I've finished adding all of my figures to the database. Yay! According to My Shelf, I have 60 figures that I've spent well...

Freeezing COLD!
−25°C in Moscow today !!! Aaaaaah!
Ho-ho-ho, it's quite severe even for us. Typical Moscow winter temperature is something between 0°C and -15°C. And the lowest temperature ever recorded was −42,2 °C in January 1940. Huh! but you...

I was thinking about ordering a couple of figurines from AmiAmi, since they started to ship worldwide. With their low prices and SAL available I was pretty much exited how low the cost of my order gonna be. And when I finally got an invoice, he-he, I...

I've said I'll be away for a while due to WoW, and that's precisely what I did :) More or less completed the Wrath of the Lich Kings expansion contents, and once the new patch is out, I'll be trying that out and finishing my brief bout of WoW.
I n...

Did you enjoy your weekend?
I spent it refreshing my knowledge before Japanese Language Proficiency Test (日本語能力試験, Nihongo Nōryoku Shiken). Level 3 here! And finally, it is over. Yokatta... (that is nice...) Although I feel a little depressed :( I...

Continuing the topic of tasty things I upload a photo of a... bag of chips oO
のり塩
norishio
nori (seaweed) and salt
Have you ever tried this sort of chips?
I almost couldn't distinguish nori taste, but I liked it anyways. Aya, and we...

So I just ordered my Sebastian Nendoroid yesterday and I should be getting it within the week. I am more than happy and can't wait until it arrives at my door. Well, hopefully it will get here in a week.
Though as I was browsing through the site I...

Photos to laugh at :D
Remember Konata Izumi eating a croissant at Lucky Star?
I managed to find them in Japan! In fact it was quite easy, cause they sell them in every second depaato or combini.
Yeah... and an amusing sleepy pic...

Anybody interested in sight-seeing?
Here is a photo-set of Kōraku-en Garden, that I visited this summer :) ...during raining season o_O
Koraku-en Garden (後楽園庭園 Kōrakuen Teien), is a Japanese garden located in Okayama Prefecture. It is one of th...

Hey! :P
I’m just interested, what figurines (of what characters) do you want to be produced?
What about me, I badly want a figure of Shizuma (from Strawberry Panic) or some combo of Shizuma + Nagisa! :)
Here are some fan wallpapers with them:...

Today is a happy day when I've joined the army of BJD (ball-jointed dolls) fans. In other words - the day I received my precious parcel.
I called him Ganta. I've been looking at ball-jointed dolls for quite a while being unable to decide wheth...

Yet another set of figures that I had no idea where the character came from. This one's original series, Penguin Musume Heart isn't as questionable as where Ellis came from, but it's still quite risque. There are series of short anime episodes as...

Remember, I showed you the Japanese flat I rented? There was a small balcony-like structure. Want to see the view from it?
Well, enjoy!
Here is the neighborhood. The 'backyard' is probably a better word.
And here are the neighbors.

Right to the figure from now on.
I saw the figure, got a great impression out of its face, and decided that I'm going to buy it. Then I went and looked around for the original.
Oh boy.
Not quite what I expected. Not at all. Though I guess th...

I couldn't find where to write about missing stuffs, so I'll put them here for now :)
I was going to add Vispo's Noir et Blanc: Morte and Diana figures, which was manufactured by a company named Tora no ana, which doesn't seem to be in the company...

Minna-san!
Another question I would like you to answer:
Do you think we need a wish list here on MyAnimeShelf?
I know that when it comes to collections, people tend to have wish lists. But, well, myself - I wish every second (ok, every third)...

I was actually going to add Mirim first (my more recent purchase), but for some reason I can't get into the manufacturer's page (MegaHouse). Since I just pre-ordered another figure based on Tony Taka's drawing, this one seemed like a fair choice.

So I discovered this site about 12 hours ago, and decided to get myself acquainted. As someone who had a bit of hard time finding other people with similar hobbies, this looked like a great idea.
So here I am, toiling at my first blog post.
I...

I guess most of you have already heard about 'figutto'. And if not... well :)
Griffon Enterprises is launching a new action figure line called 'figutto' (フィぎゅっと).
And today GE updated its 'figutto' site revealing the name of the first figurine...

Have just finished Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Guys, I'm impressed! The game was not only the most fascinating adventure, but very likely the best game experience I've ever had. This game is the biggest reason for buying PlayStation 3 console, re...

If you plan to spend in Japan a week or two, probably the best idea would be to book a hotel room. If you're staying for a month - you're very likely studying Japanese - go for a host family. But in case of 3 months or even more you definitely need a...

xD Hello!
I figured that I should throw it out there that I don't have any figures yet, just those random ones that you can get at cons and anime stores that can go on keychains. I don't know what they are called. I only have two but hopefully I c...

Minna-san! The question of the day is:
How do you like our flowers?
Myself, I think their main minus is that flowers don't deal with figurines. But if noone is awfully scared with them, we'll stay with these browny flowers for a while.

I came up with a couple of decent subjects for a blog post. But last night (actually, morning) I had a dream^^
So, instead of elaborating on those subjects, I'll tell you about what I saw in my sleep. It is not totally unrelated to figures though...

I was thinking about topics for us to discuss (besides newly announced figurines) and suddenly stumbled upon an interesting fact.
This summer I was incredibly lucky to spend a month in Japan. It was my first trip there, and my relatives were craz...

I am in despair! A figure I want is on a site I can't read. ;_;
Perhaps I should explain an easier way.
I'm a fan of Ryukishi07's works. I haven't gone back to read through the first 2 "When They Cry" series, but I'm about halfway th...

I'm so happy. Nendo Saber Lily isn't defective (gosh, this word is ugly) after all. All thanks go to pineappleskewer. She was brave enough to try switching Sabers fists. I suspected it to be possible, but couldn't make myself twist them off... and fi...

Mostly just for the sake of messing around right now, I'll get to working on and icon and all that here later.
Firstly, I suppose a welcome is in order! I'm Jobibi/Rin, I don't really care which you call me. I'm a little white girl in the US who a...

My Nendo Saber Lily arrived at Moscow a long while ago, but it was yesterday, when I finally managed to capture her. Well, surprisingly I'm not going to make any declarations of love here. Everybody knows she is fascinating! She really is. But...

Want to share some photos, that I made during Japanese pop-culture festival, which took place on the 4th of November (that means yesterday) in Moscow.
First of all, I want to apologize, cause the photos are 'holy crap', really. Have to buy a prop...

As you can see, judging by my photo stream, I like to take outdoor photos of my figures. The problem is to carry them around safely.
I found my solution for figmas, nendos and other relatively small figures. Here it is.
Basically, it is a trav...
